Whether it’s moccasins, mukluks or some other traditional footwear, Native people are showing them off this week at work, school, or running errands. Rock Your Mocs is an annual pride campaign to spread awareness of Native people and culture. We’re celebrating too by sharing stories about the origins of moccasins and learning about their place in Native culture. Tell us about your moccasins.
